The Other Nine Years: Census Surveys

• Many Americans think the Census Bureau’s mission is to conduct the
  once every 10-year census.
• However, the Census Bureau conducts surveys every month involving
  thousands of households and businesses across the country
• These surveys collect data on labor force participation, income, crime
  victimization, incarceration rates, and measures of health
• Other Federal agencies contract with the Census Bureau to collect the
  survey data

                                                                Envisioning our Future   8

Current Surveys Being Conducted

• The American Community Survey (ACS) – Eliminated the need for a
  long form in the 2020 Census. Data is published annually. The best
  data for market research, grant writing, and emergency preparedness.
• Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) – Collects information on the
  buying habits of American consumers. The Census Bureau collects
  this data for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
• Current Population Survey (CPS) – Collects up-to-date data figures on
  people who have jobs, those who want jobs and those who are not in
  the market for jobs. This survey is conducted for the U.S. Department
  of Labor

                                                               Envisioning our Future   9

Current Surveys Being Conducted (cont’d)

• National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) – This survey is used to
  assess the impact of crime on society, and it is the primary source of
  information on criminal victimization. This survey is conducted for the
  Bureau of Justice Statistics, which is part of the U.S. Department of
  Justice
• National Health Interview Survey (HIS) – The principal source on the
  health of the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population. Conducted
  for the National Center for Health Statistics, which is part of the
  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
• Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) – Collects
  information income received from a variety of sources and on other
  data related to government program participation and eligibility.

                                                                 Envisioning our Future   10

Statistics In Schools (SIS)

Statistics in Schools (SIS) brings school subjects to life using real-world Census Bureau
statistics to create materials for use year after year for K-12 students. Resources and
activities in social studies, math, English, geography, sociology and more.

        Teacher-designed. Teachers helped create and review each activity to make
        sure it is valuable and engaging.

        Easy to use. Materials are free, easily customized, and supportive of existing
        lesson plans.

        Valuable. SIS enhances learning, boosts statistical literacy, and prepares
        students for a data-driven world.
                                                                                Envisioning our Future   11
